I was supposed to go back to portland on wednesday but after my dads last treatment they scheduled a surgery for today. this was fine until mama-j "couldn't be here friday" because she has to take down decorations at the lights of christmas. i think her priorities are way out of order, there have been other things which i will expand on when i get home. i know that she has to deal with this more than me, but i would not want my partner to be alone the day after surgery. sigh.
when I found this out I decided to stay until Saturday bc my dad is still in recovery, also the treatment caused a UTI and put him on more meds, then he pulled a muscle in his back resulting in muscle relaxers and pain killers. after surgery he is on mass meds including oxy and is pretty much incoherent, he can barely talk without slurring. when he stands up he shakes and has to use a cane. he says it "feels like i'm peeing razor blades" and there is blood in his urine and if it doesn't stop within 24 hours of surgery he has to go to DR. he also has to have someone help him to regulate his meds, otherwise he wouldn't remember when he took stuff and might take too much oxy bc he forgets. erg, i am going on way to long. i think i have made my point.
i will be up at 7am tomorrow when mama-j leaves and will be spending the day with dad watching boxing, crime dramas and bad movies. i hope to be going out with s-bros and s-sisters and friends for NYE, but it snowed up here and then hailed and sleeted making everything slippery. the high today was 33degrees and right now it is 25degrees and dropping so if it is still icy, i will prolly stay in bc it is super dangerous up in the foothills of the mountains where they live until you get down to town. plus my train is saturday at 10am. anyway, more next year, lol.
Happy New Year, eeerrrbody.

Hey, are you home yet?
I'm so sorry about your dad. How is he feeling emotionally? Tough times... let me know if you need anything.
xoxo
i got home saturday night but have been resting to try to have normalcy by today.
he's stressed and unhappy. also i am sure having j-mom say 'we're sick of hearing you whining' doesn't help.
i am super depressed. group tonight. psych tomorrow. my fun life.
Oh my god. Why would she do that? What in the world???????
yeah, i think it's a coping mechanism, i'm gonna post, i think...
